This photo, believed to be from 1987, shows Teacher Adelaide Pence taking her students on a visit to Dr. Palmer's house on High School Hill. If you know anyone pictured or have more details, please include it in the comment section below.
Although we've run a similar photo of this type of train before, this particular photo shows a train - looking east - going through the Glen Elk section of Clarksburg with the Waldo Hotel showing in the background. As the train states, it's heading to Wolf Summit.
Editor's Note: This ongoing photo feature of pictures from Bridgeport and throughout the Mountain State is part of local historian Richard "Dick" Duez's collection. Duez, the unofficial historian of Bridgeport, would appreciate any scanned photos emailed to him for use here or to include in his ongoing efforts to preserve local history. You can email photos, or let him know how to acquire copies of photos you may have in your possession, to Duez at grinder12@frontier.com.
